A Long Time (typical)

I haven’t written anything here in a long, long time.  My bad
To be honest, there’s been quite a bit going on, but I expect most people are filled in on those things, so whatever.  Liz and I have moved to Warwick, NY and are now approaching three full weeks of living here.  Everything is going [...]

The Loose Ends

Remember that episode of Sex and the City when Carrie decides to go to Paris because she’s afraid of losing The Russian? I’m not blond or a sex columnist and he’s not a Russian artist, but I’m going with him so as not to lose him.
I said last night that my life is about more [...]

All my bags are(n’t) packed

I’m looking in the mirror and my highlights are halfway down my head, just like I predicted they’d be when I got my hair dyed in September. Only they don’t look trashy or fake or lazy, like I ran out of money and/or desire to keep dyeing my hair. They’ve faded to a sparkling golden [...]

he train almost left you here love, but it took you with my kiss. i leaned against the bruise-colored metal and watched for your face by the window; i didn’t find it and the man who helped you leave today told me “he’ll be fine.” i know i wanted to say, that’s not why i’m [...]

I could have been one of those people on the sidewalk, but I still haven’t bought a pair of sinched-legs camo pants. every time i watch project runway, i see the parsons logo and think of the courtyard katie and i visited where everyone was smoking. so much more glamorous than emerson smokers gathering in [...]

Music Player Mayhem

I wrote a sick new script for Amarok called TierScore which basically scores my tracks in a relative sense based off the most played track in my library. Unfortunately, I’ve listened to such a diverse number of songs, all of which have received random ratings, scores, and playcounts, so now it looks like I [...]

Traveling Home: Stop 2

I think I’m just outside of Albany (by just, I mean on the order of like 20 something miles). I stopped to get some food and stretch my legs again because they were starting to cramp up. The snow hasn’t started yet, so that means I’m staying ahead of the storm, which makes [...]

Traveling Home: Stop 1

I’ve taken my first stop on my way back home. I’ve only been on the road for about an hour and a half, but it’s been a long one. Also, those energy drinks have pretty much gone right through me.
So far it’s been an uneventful drive. I’m just trying to make sure [...]

Routing

Now, my server is connected directly to the internet [...]
